Warning: This video is safe for work, but it will totally give you nightmares.

Lots of dogs can skateboard, snowboard and surf, but one that can do all three? That’s a new trick. One way-coordinated pooch named Tillman started out as just a skateboarder (and one with almost 6,000 Facebook fans), but now the bulldog is an extreme sports triple threat.
